Teacher Appreciation Week 2022 was a great opportunity to welcome community partners back in schools to engage educators and thank them for the work they do. AFT-Maryland took that opportunity to visit with education professionals at the National Academy Foundation (NAF) in East Baltimore. The state federation was represented by President Kenya Campbell, Secretary-Treasurer LaBrina Hopkins, and Community Engagement Director Jeffery Johnson.
The school hosted vendors from a range of fields including local entrepreneurs. Educators were treated to a delicious meal and many stopped by the AFT-Maryland table afterwards. The state federation team shared the myriad of benefits members at the school have access to because of their affiliation with AFT (visit www.aft.org/member-benefits for info*). Members were also given goodie bags of useful classroom supplies as a token of appreciation from the state federation.
The state federation was excited to engage members directly in-school for Teacher Appreciation Week. Members were excited to see the familiar faces of AFT-Maryland. They traded stories and laughs as they thanked AFT-Maryland for the gift bags.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
